    Roland- the tree in the vase especially the one dedicated to Horo looks very nice.

    Tim Bateman – the knight render is awesome.

    Sandy - nice sunset scene

    Dave - that terrain came out great.

    Roland’s experiments with Hdri and the Ibl and Horo’s explanation sent me back to http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/2839/ and http://www.bryce-tutorials.info/bryce-tutorials.html

    Here are a few stills experimenting with lighting and reflections.

    Nice reflections Mermaid, I particularly like the effect on the last one.

    Here's a Bryce render from me of my first DAZ PC model, currently on sale http://www.daz3d.com/by-the-seaside-beach-huts

    You may not think to look at it but it took me five weeks to model this little thing (actually most of that was spend teaching myself UV mapping) and then a lot of help from Jack Tolalin to drill me in rigging in Poser.

    Since I sold this to PC I can happily point out that I am pleased with the result and not be accused of any bias, since I've already been paid for the model. The textures were made by my talented friend Forbidden Whispers, who clearly has endless patience.

    Edit. Following I've put a picture of the real huts.

    Thanks David. Your hut model looks better than the original ;) I think Pam or Dave said it's easier to use Poser than Daz Studio.

    There's the last of my stills

    Well it is for me, but then I don't make models. My first attempt at a simple cube had wobbly sides of different sizes. Rigging things is something I have never ever ventured into. Far too advanced for me.

    Instant Sale for Me David.

    Edit. Mermaid, beautiful material renders, I particularly like the one on the right with the subtle blue grid embedded in it.

    Edit. Edit. Oh I think it is only free to me because I made it. Or some other such reason. So I don't know how much it might appear to other people.

    Thanks David, Roland and Fishtales.

    David - the hut is still showing at 30% discount. Maybe its free for the PA members, and I got all excited thinking I could "afford" it. ;)

    Edit: I just read David's edit..... it's only free to him, :(

    I don't know if it is just me or not. I think I might be a PC member automatically as a result of being a Published Artist? But then I don't know how that affects the pricing structure. I know about as much about that side of things as I do about using the Camera in DS! Then there are all these other sale things that can apply and frankly it's beyond me.

    Edit. I think it must be because I am a PC member, because the other thing I made, the props, has less of a discount so even though I made it it would still cost me to get it. So that is the answer probably. It is free to PC members? Maybe a PC member who isn't a PA could confirm if that theory is right?

    Monthly PC freebie, also free for PAs costs for non PC members

    I was actually being sarcastic when I said "Instant sale" as I am a PC member (long term)

    Ah... OK that clarifies things a bit. But it would have made life a bit easier if you'd have used a sarcastic font.

    @mermaid010 - very nice objects, I like the last one most, probably because of the contrast. Whenever possible, I get and install stuff for Studio and Poser. I usually find it in the Poser folders when I can't find them in the Studio folders. I'm not particularly liking the Poser folder structure, but I find the one for Studio to be the worst possible chaos. The Save 100% may be only for PC+ members, of which I am one. I got the hut for free.

    @David - beach huts came out fine. And what I said above - I find different content for Studio and Poser; it will be difficult to find it later on because I'll certainly search for Beach Hut and not for Pack - naming is a bit unfortunate. As participating PA you get the product you laboured on for free, of course (you have it anyway), but not all PAs get it for free. I reckon it's the PC+ this time that makes it free. Without logging in, I see it at 30%, also in the PC club because the system doesn't know I'm a member. Logged-in gives me 100%.

    BTW David, there was a comment in another forum about the Promenade and the hut. She said "Yay, it looks British, for a change"

    I have just one problem with it, where's all the sand on the steps down to the beach? There's always sand on them and on the top on the promenade as welll.

    Aye, I know, but I've not reached that level of skill in my modeling yet to do the sand. I had a few goes but it didn't look so good. I had enough trouble with the grass! I thought that instead, I might use the lack of sand as an opportunity to do a tutorial for Bryce which could employ capturing height maps and terrains to make up for this omission.

    Anyway, I'm glad that the Britishness has been detected, that was my idea, to make something with a distinct local style. Of course the texturing by Forbidden Whispers helps with this, what with all the distressed texture options.

    @mermaid: All of those objects are really nice. I like the material and texture of the last two but the intensity of the third object really catches my eye.

    @David: Bridging your hut over to Bryce turned out well. But would it not have been possible to chose the entire hut in DAZ and then send it? Your stumbling around in DAZ Studio is just an example of how those of us who don't use Studio very much end up using it from time to time. And the tennis ball video was really good.

    If you look at the comments underneath the video you will see my friend L. Cleveland Major offers some clues how to go about grouping the bits together for export all in one go.

    David your Beach Huts and Promenade are great. I thought it was Sheringham in Norfolk, but Chohole has just told me it isn't in Norfolk, and not Sheringham.

    I found out it's in Lincolnshire.

    I found a sand texture and replaced the grass but kept the normal map and it looked fine.

    I tried both tennis ball tutorials, and found only one material could be applied using the first tutorial. The second tutorial, while a bit more challenging with the crumpled vertices, did allow two materials to be applied. I've made a nice looking, uneven edged, tennis ball using the second tutorial, but haven't been able to get an appropriate material applied. Still a WIP.

    Thank you Wendy! Yes Lincolnshire in fact...

    Just there.

    @Jamie. For Bryce if you want to be able to texture the first tennis ball you either have to split the model into separate parts or UV map the surface. For both the way the geometry is treated and the materials are handled it very much depends on the render engine. Bryce does not respect the material zones assigned in Wings, you have to split the model. Octane 1.2 does but does not let you pick out different parts of the model (v2 however has this capability).

    Edit. Oh by the way, Horo and my shops on sale today and we've got a new thing out.

    Yesterday's effort.... I got the Ivy Generator back out.
    The metal thing is the Depth Charge model that came with (I think it was) Bryce 5 with one of David's Metal materials applied.
    This very small render took a silly amount of time to render (just over 5 hours!) but that was down to IBL and the transparency on the iby leaves I think.

    Dave - a very nice render, I agree with Electro-elvis very realistic.

    My take on David’s tennis ball tutorials, a quick render to check the geometry. I’m not too happy with both and will rework the tutorials this weekend.

    The hut tutorial, I found interesting although I don’t use Daz Studio.

    @mermaid010 - nice tennis balls, I like the nearer one more.

    As David mentioned above, our stores are on sale for today and we also have the brand new terrain set 4 up now. Here's a render from a bit higher up (Cliff-Lake).
